Wash/wipe system
E60, E61, E63, E64
Introduction
The wash/wipe functions are available once Terminal R status is ON.
The windscreen wipers are driven by an electric motor with a reducer gear.
The wiper blades have a new method of attachment to the windscreen-wiper arm.
The wash/wipe system no longer has ball-and-socket type washer jets. Instead, fan-type jets are used (fluidic jets).
The wash/wipe system is controlled by the body basic module (KBM). The washer-jet heater system is an exception,
however, as it is controlled by the automatic heating and air-conditioning module (IHKA).
[System Overview ...]
The BMW 5 Series and BMW 6 Series are equipped with a rain-light sensor as standard. This makes automatic
mode for the windscreen wiper generally possible.
A headlight cleaning system is offered as an option (option 502).
Option 502 is obligatory for: Option 522 Bi-xenon dipped/main-beam headlights in countries subject to an approval for
Europe.
The Touring has a rear window wiper with a separate rear window washer pump as standard.
